Bromination of 2-amino-5-chloropyrazine (I) with bromine in chloroform-pyridine provided bromopyrazine (II). Then, reaction with sodium methoxide in refluxing methanol afforded methyl ether (III). Finally, condensation of (III) with dansyl chloride (IV) in the presence of NaH in dimethoxyethane yielded the corresponding sulfonamide.
